Made the
hard way.

I'm a capitalist. I like building things, decoding things, and solving problems — and I've always been drawn to the language of numbers. Above all that, I'm a family man. I failed at almost everything early on; the one thing that never left me was the instinct to create value and compound it.

Who I am/ four things
01

A capitalist

I believe in earning, owning, and letting good assets compound. The mindset showed up before the money did.

02

A builder & problem-solver

I like making things and taking them apart to understand them. If something's broken, I want to decode it and fix it.

03

A student of numbers

Markets, money, taxes, risk. I learned the capital markets the hard way and never stopped studying them.

04

A family man

The reason behind the work. Everything I build is meant to last longer than I do.

The journey

Paper route to
the world's
biggest bank.

The short version of a long road — every setback included, because they're the point.

The beginning

The first hustle

Newspapers & a shined scooter
  • Delivered newspapers for ₹10–20 a round — just enough to rent a bicycle my parents wouldn't buy.
  • Washed Dad's scooter for a ₹5 coin. The capitalist instinct arrived early.
The false starts

Knocking on doors

Tata Docomo · Kenneth Consultancy · Airtel
  • A string of jobs that lasted days — a telecaller desk, an accounts-helper seat. Failed my 12th twice along the way.
  • Plenty of failure. But the drive to build never went anywhere.
The spark

First real gig — church media

Visuals at a youth fest
  • I'd been changing song lyrics on church screens since childhood. Someone spotted the talent and told me it could earn.
  • ₹3,000 to run visuals on an LED screen at a youth fest — my first taste of getting paid for a craft.
2016 – 19

AV technician → Graphic designer

Elevate Media
  • Started setting up LED screens at ₹6,000, got promoted to graphic designer at ₹12,000.
  • The benchmark in my head was always NLAG — the church I'd looked up to since I was a kid.

First corporate job

Tech Mahindra — Telstra process
  • Six months fixing broadband and telephone issues for an Australian telco. ₹12k grew to ₹22k.
  • BPO night shifts weren't for me — but they taught me how to communicate, and bought my first flight, to Goa.
2019 — 26

The "no" that became a cabin of my own

NLAG — Video Engineer
  • As a kid at a youth camp, the pastor — Rev. Valson Varghese — said anyone who wanted to join the media team should reach out to a volunteer at the back. I walked over, full of nerve. He looked at me and said "no." It stung. But quietly, I made myself a promise: one day, I'll work here.
  • Years later, the door I'd been turned away from opened. I joined the church I'd looked up to since childhood as a video engineer — knowing nothing about video. The words that carried me in: "God doesn't want your ability, He wants your availability."
  • The kid who got told "no" ended up with a cabin of his own, full-time, inside that same church. Seven years of service — leading 40 volunteers, elevating the video experience, growing ₹22k → ₹48k.
  • Earned a Bachelor's in Mass Communication (Wesley Degree College, 2019–2024) alongside it all.
2020

Enter the market

A notebook, a pen, and Zerodha
  • COVID lockdown and my dad's ESOP story lit the fuse. I taught myself investing, trading, F&O, bonds, and taxes from scratch.
  • The start of a personal, long-term interest in the markets that's still going.
The lesson

The ₹25L education

Loss, debt, and stewardship
  • Lost around ₹25 lakh by 22–23 and carried unsecured debt. Learned the market the hard way, with mentors who treated it as a business.
  • Paid back every person who believed in me. Stewardship over ego — that's how long-term trust gets built.
2024

First builds

Maarste — with my friend Jason Swaroop
  • Tried dropshipping and Amazon global selling for spices. Both failed — capital, restrictions, and sourcing all in the way.
  • The takeaway: when effort doesn't match the outcome, it's not worth chasing.
2020 →

A long game in the markets

Clive Capital — personal investing
  • A patient, long-term approach to investing, inspired by Warren Buffett — backing good things and letting them compound over time.
Now

The dream, realized

JPMorgan Chase — Event & Media Producer
  • The goal was always to lead the media — to be the one calling the show. The door opened at the world's largest bank.
  • From an LED screen at a youth fest to producing at JPMorgan Chase — availability, again, opening a door I couldn't see.

"God doesn't want your ability. He wants your availability."

The line that keeps opening doors

Still building

Still compounding.
